Despite being incredibly wealthy, I want to be a prosecutor.

The office of Prosecutor Solawon of the Provincial Prosecutor's Office is where he works, except when he goes to Chiang Luang Port from Monday to Wednesday, and on Thursdays and Fridays.

At this time, both Zhou Hong and Captain Sabida were present.

Although Sabita was the subject of a complaint, the provincial police station did not replace her. At this moment, she looked at Zhou Hong with a very unfriendly gaze.

He then placed a stack of materials on the desk in Solawon's office.

The "assistance in investigation" actually refers to the police assisting prosecutor Solawam.

Zhou Hong was only authorized to represent the "teacher".

If the police are serious, all investigation results will be handed over directly to Prosecutor Solawon.

According to the police's second investigation, the main culprit in the case of the two girls falling from the Future 27 Hotel in Chiang Luan Port is Xin. Xin has confessed that he organized a party to sell hallucinogenic drugs, which caused the two victims to jump out of the window under the influence of hallucinations.

"After Xin was taken to the provincial government, he changed his statement again!" Zhou Hong smiled as he looked at the investigation results.

Solaon remained silent; it seemed his disciple was still dissatisfied with the investigation results.

The two girls had gone from organizers to victims, and a major pharmaceutical company had confessed. Logically, the matter should have ended there.

"First of all, Captain Sabitha, I believe your continued involvement in the investigation is a serious dereliction of duty by the police."

"Since the prosecution office has determined that you violated regulations during the interrogation, the police should remove you from the investigation team."

"The police are only assisting in the investigation; we must respect and comply with the prosecutor's office's opinion."

Zhou Honglian explained his opinions, and it was clear that the internal factional struggle within the police force had been resolved through compromise.

Deputy Director Meng Peng must have given up a lot of benefits in order to save his son.

Deputy Chief Mongpong was originally slated to succeed the soon-to-retire Chief Tawang. He was a key figure in a major faction within the Chiang Rai police system, and this faction clearly had not given up on him.

Now, this case must escalate into a power struggle between the prosecution and the police; otherwise, it will inevitably be suppressed and quelled.

As he spoke, Zhou Hong took out a videotape from his briefcase. "Teacher, take a look at this."

He glanced at Sabitha and said, "I have enough evidence to prove that a young man named Tuta was at the crime scene that night."

"I feel that if your police investigation is rejected and a third supplementary investigation is launched, will the case then turn into one where Tuta was also invited by the drug dealer and is one of the victims? Is this just a piecemeal approach?"

"If that's the case, then I really have to laugh. None of the previous dozen or so testimonies mentioned Tuta's name. Is he a taboo subject?"

"I think, with this third supplementary investigation and so much more evidence, even a dog wouldn't go astray, right? These dozen or so people involved have colluded flawlessly, yet they still can't find the truth that Tuta was the organizer? Did Tuta have malicious intentions that caused the two young people to fall?"

Sabita paused for a moment, then looked at the television screen. Soravon's office had a television and a VCR, and the videotape that Zhou Hong had brought was playing.

The image is very clear, and you can clearly see the outline of Tuta's face.

After a moment of silence, Soravon glanced at Sabida and said, "I think you do need to continue your investigation."

"Hong, I'm going to report to the chief. I think the chief will be very interested in this case." After Sabita left, Soravon stood up, his face bearing a strange expression.

Zhou Hong nodded slightly.

……

When Zhou Hong returned to his post in Qingluan County in the afternoon, a police officer came to his desk and said coldly, "Chief Meng Peng wants to see you."

Since it was Thursday, neither Wen Ren nor the clerk were there. Xiao Hei Mei had been on leave recently and had been at a hospital in Bangkok.

The office only contained bailiff Pao Peng and Zhou Hong.

Seeing the complex expression on Pao Peng's face, Zhou Hong laughed and said, "If I get shot to death in the streets of Qingluan Port, Pao Peng, remember to avenge me!"

Pao Peng chuckled awkwardly, "Prosecutor Hong, you must be joking."

The police officer who led the way looked rather grim. "Prosecutor Hong, the county has a very good public security record. No prosecutor has ever been shot before."

Zhou Hong shrugged and stood up. "Let's go!"

Deputy Director Mengpeng's office is on the same floor as the resident prosecutor's office, both on the top floor.

The prosecutor's office is on the far west side, while the deputy chief of staff's office is on the far east side, both of which are much more luxurious and spacious than the prosecutor's office in Solawon.

The pretty secretary in the yellowish-brown police officer's suit served tea and left, gently closing the door behind her.

In the lounge area of ​​the impressive office, Zhou Hong and Deputy Director Meng Peng sat facing each other on the soft sofa. Zhou Hong slumped down, finding it quite comfortable.

"Director, actually I'm just doing this for my future, handling every case well. And now, the case has reached the chief prosecutor of the provincial procuratorate, so it has nothing to do with me anymore. I can only wait for the result. After all, I'm just a lowly intern."

Before Meng Peng could even think of what to say, Zhou Hong spoke to him very seriously.

"Oh, there's good news. Both victims have shown signs of waking up. Even if the young master is convicted, he will only be involved in drug use, possession of controlled substances, attempted rape, and manslaughter, and will not be convicted of intentional homicide. With these multiple charges combined, he should not be sentenced to life imprisonment."

The hooded man stared at Zhou Hong with a sinister expression, unsure whether the man was genuinely comforting him or mocking him.

"You and the Chief, you don't have any relationship?" Mengpeng suddenly asked.

"To be honest, I have no contact with the chief."

Even if the Fifth Madam's network of connections isn't top-tier, it's still possible to make contact indirectly. Otherwise, her brother wouldn't have chosen Chiang Rai as his internship location.

But I truly have no connection whatsoever with the Chief Executive Officer.

Mong looked at him intently. "Tell the chief that I hope my son's conviction will be less than ten years."

Zhou Hong's expression became even more serious: "I really have nothing to say. Besides, I think less than ten years is too lenient."

"Okay, I understand!" Mengpeng didn't say anything more, waved his hand, and slowly closed his eyes.

……

In the evening, I was called by my "teacher" to go to the provincial capital.

"Don't go to Qingluan during this time. Take a few days off to avoid the limelight."

In the cigar room of the presidential suite in the future 27, Solauon was enjoying a cigar and seemed to be in a good mood.

Zhou Hong chuckled inwardly. It turned out that he had really become cannon fodder in the end because he had kept a close watch and kept digging up evidence, making him a perfect frontline dog.

On the Qingluan side, those involved hate themselves the most.

A true prosecutor, like a teacher or a chief prosecutor, would instead use this case as an opportunity to teach the police a lesson.

Although it may seem like I'm the biggest loser, in reality, I'm already showing promise, which is exactly what I wanted.

"By the way, your Lao and Burmese are both quite good, right?" Solawong suddenly asked.

Zhou Hong was very modest, saying, "Spoken conversation shouldn't be a problem."

Soravon chuckled and said, "Well then, I'll give you two choices."

"As you know, drug trafficking and smuggling are rampant in the Mekong River basin these days. Our marine police often conduct joint patrols with the marine police of Laos and Myanmar to combat crime in that area. There are also different ways of cooperation. For example, we have set up a liaison station in the Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone that is being prepared in Laos. Its main responsibility is to observe the implementation of the local poppy substitution planting plan. Now, the liaison station has encountered some legal issues. You can participate in the working group and provide them with legal advice. You are quick-witted and more suitable for this job than someone who only studies books. Originally, the provincial court was going to send a formal prosecutor to provide legal aid, but I can recommend you to the chief prosecutor."

"Okay, teacher." Zhou Hong replied calmly.

The scope of a prosecutor's actual work is quite broad, encompassing multiple statutory responsibilities such as criminal prosecution, case review, legal supervision, government representation, and international judicial assistance (including judicial assistance in international peacekeeping operations).

There are many types of legal representation for the government. For example, civil litigation representation involves representing government agencies in civil cases to safeguard state property and public interests.

Administrative litigation representation: Representing the government in administrative litigation cases and providing legal support regarding the legality of administrative actions;

There are also legal protections for public officials, of course, not for those who embezzle or accept bribes.

Rather, it means that prosecutors have a duty to provide legal defense for government officials who are sued for lawfully performing their duties.

This is quite rare in China, because it is almost unheard of for a civil servant to be sued and have a case filed against them for legally performing their duties.

Another service is legal consulting, which provides professional legal advice to central and local government agencies, municipal organizations, and so on, and participates in the drafting and review of regulations.

Providing legal advice to working groups of national institutions operating outside their jurisdiction is one such example.

"Another option is to go to Xinta County, which is actually Tachileik in Myanmar. We have a temporary cooperative relationship there and need to send a liaison officer there."

"Of course, there's no rush to go to Tachileik; the plan for the temporary working group is still under negotiation."

Zhou Hong coughed. So, he was going to be a sentry dog ​​again?

I've been to Xinta County once; that's where Madam Yang was picked up.

Across the river from Tachileik, the gambling capital of Myanmar, it is the first port of entry between Myanmar and Elephant State, and the county town is much larger than that of Chiang Luan County.

In terms of common usage, Xinta County, like some provincial capitals, can actually be called Xinta City.

The "city" or "town" in Xiangguo and the prefecture-level city in Huaguo are two different concepts.

"Actually, these two positions don't conflict, right? Providing legal advice to our staff in Laos doesn't require my people to be in Laos all the time, so it won't affect my deployment to Tachileik. Maybe by the time things in Laos are resolved, the cooperation in Tachileik won't be finalized yet?" Zhou Hong smiled and continued, "Let's just say we can handle both positions. After all, they're both in the Golden Triangle region, so it's convenient to travel back and forth."

Solauon paused for a moment, then said, "Think about it first."

"Teacher, I've made up my mind. I just can't stay idle. Of course, I also have a lot of things to do in China, so I hope the department won't be stingy when I need a vacation."

Zhou Hong said very seriously that it was actually a spur-of-the-moment idea, to test a grand plan.
